Biography
Tuoba Yilu became the chieftain of the western Tuoba Xianbei in 295 after Tuoba Luguan divided the Tuoba's lands, and he defeated the Xiongnu and Wuhuan to the west. This allowed for him to gain the support of the Han Chinese and the conquered Wuhuan barbarians, and in 307 he became the supreme chieftain of the Tuoba after the deaths of Luguan and Tuoba Yituo. Tuoba Yilu helped Bing Province Governor Liu Kun in defeating the Xiongnu under Fu Hun in 312, and he was created Prince of Dai as a result. Dai became one of the Sixteen Kingdoms that replaced the Eastern Jin dynasty, and his death in 316 let Tuoba Pugen inherit a united Xianbei tribe.
